Free Music Notes for Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Free Music Review: Ba Ba Black Sheep...(4.5 Stars)
Hit: 5 Stars
Back in 1991, The Native Tounges were known for making heavy laid back musical vibes (ATCQ: Low End Theory; De La Soul: De La Soul Is Dead), so when a group called Black Sheep were added into the group, it had a much different edge to the name. Consisting of Dres who mostly did the vocals and Mista Lawnge who mostly did the production, Black Sheep would bring a humorous taste to the hip hop era in '91.
One topic that they mostly focused on inside of this album is hitting skins (a 90's term for getting some), in a humorous way, but at the same time didn't cross the line when talking about that topic, unlike the songs you hear nowadays. "Stroblite Honey", "Flavor Of The Month", and "Similak Child" (and many more) are songs about Dres running his game on the females mostly with his arrogant style as he would say to a female, trying get rid of her in the song "Stroblite Honey". Aside from pulling the feamles, Dres would come with some hard lyrics, as he would rhyme about racial and social issues in the song "Black With No N.V" that went along with the skit "Go To Hail" because a cab driver refused to take him home. "The Choice Is Yours" (both versions) come off nice and will make your head nod.
Mista Lawnge would take care of most of the production, and does a good job that gives it some of the vibes that most Native Tongue songs have. He can also spit a few rhymes at random portions of this album on tracks like "To Whom It May Concern" dissing wack rappers and producers who in need to step their skills up.
This album can be humorous also. The second track "U Mean I'm Not" will make you laugh as Dres comes at listeners with a gangstafied tone (yeah it reminds you of old Ice Cube songs). The skit L.A.S.M. will make you laugh also, as it goes along with the content that is mostly talked about throughout the album.
Guest appearances are good as Q-Tip would join in on the song "La Menage" which works well. A young pre-teen named Chi-Ali would make bried appearances in the songs "Have U.N.E. Pull" and "Pass The 40" which is good. Some unknowns named Diggety Dog and some guy named Chris (I think thats their names) on "Pass The 40" come ff decent.
Overall A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing is a good album. It reminds me of many songs I've heard on the radio when I was a child on tracks like "The Choice Is Yours (revisited)" (I was 6 when this came out). Mostly the subject matter on women would cause this to fall short of other Native Tongue albums that came out in 1991. Thats my only knock on this album, but that shouldn't stop you from adding this to your collection. I haven't heard "Non Fiction" and Dres' solo album that came out in 1999 yet, but I recommend this to people who are big fans of 90's music, mainly The Native Tongues family.
